Suggest Treatment For Cysts In Knee Joints Of Children
What is the best treatment for synovial cysts and popleteal cysts in knee joints of children who do not have any form of arthritis and who cannot tolerate anti- inflamatory drugs? Is it advisable to aspirate the cyst if acute pain persists for 15 months?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Simply aspirating the cysts will not solve the problem, as it will re-accumulate. Give it a try for once only, if the problems persists you have to go for a formal surgery.
This will also give material for histo-pathological diagnosis to determine the exact cause of this problem in such a small child.
